Stitching in June

I'm finishing up all of my June stitching this week. I pieced together the 2016 components. That has become one of my favorite parts in the process. I like seeing how the pieces interact and form new shapes and emphasis once they are together. June was pretty wacky with all sorts of odds and ends. I was traveling in Great Britain at that time, and I added pieces I found here and there, had lots of shifts in weather and environments, maybe that's why this one is all over the place.

My 2017 June is much more unified, maybe a little too much so for my taste. I'm starting with a smaller bag of scraps and threads for this project, and it might be a little too limiting.

I think I prefer the irregularities and oddities of the 2016 piece. Think I'll mix up my July bag a bit more.
